Complete platform to develop various tasks.

What do you like best about the product?
When I used Asana, I certainly got to know each of the work tools, which helped me to develop my experience in the performance of tasks and in the creation of new projects. My favorite part about this platform is the "dashboard" view since in this way, I can visualize the progress of each project, and I can manage the various tasks that have been planned in my company.
What do you dislike about the product?
One of the really negative things during my experience with Asana, was its synchronization with the "Dropbox" platform. I have successfully synchronized both platforms, however I have not been successful during their performance, since some of my projects have not been automatically stored in my Dropbox cloud, which causes that not all the information is automatically saved. I would like Asana and Dropbox to have better synchronization, capable of storing all projects without exception.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am really happy with the results that I have been obtaining in my company with the help of Asana, since it has been a very influential platform during the elaboration of projects. Asana has allowed us to create projects in a much simpler way and has also helped us control all kinds of tasks in our company, carry out planning and have an open communication system to interact during the preparation of tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is a very complete platform with respect to the collaboration of teams and the creation of projects, its availability, allows the user to interact consecutively, without any interruption.

Great experience

What do you like best about the product?
Very user friendly interface. Is really great for collaborations too.
What do you dislike about the product?
They moved the conversations tab and now it's an extra click away. It is nit picking I know.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Multiple team members jumping in and out of projects with ease. Things are not falling through the cracks like they used to.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Move the conversation bar in projects back into the main tab so that I dont have to click another button to get there. Time is money!

I've used many task management softwares but Asana is the best by far

  • September 26, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Compared to similar softwares, Asanas user interface is beautiful and clean. The way the information is organized makes it super easy to find anything you're looking for. Very intuitive for users to navigate.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the things that I get frustrated with are because of my lack of knowledge on how to do things. I havent explored the support page but maybe they could make onboarding a bit more of a focus. I would also like a timer for projects to be included.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I like the scheduling tool the've added that saves my team a step from having to use Sheets or Excel.

Great for small teams

  • September 26, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I haven't used Asana in years but my new team recently implemented it. I gotta say, I don't hate it. It's got a really nice interface and it's user-friendly for those who have used similar project management tools. Everything is nice and organized.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a bummer that there's no ability to templatize subtasks (for instance, I have to re-write subtasks for every blog post card I make). In addition, I hate that you can't switch the view on the boards—if you start a project with the kanban view, that's what you're stuck with. No switching to timeline, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I love the forms function! It's been super nice to move my "case studies" Google Form over to Asana. This way, when one of my team members requests a case study, all they need to do is fill out the form and a task is automatically created and assigned to me from the form. Super rad.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's great for smaller teams, but not super awesome for those who are looking for things to be templatized.

a simple yet powerful Todo list

What do you like best about the product?
Its simplicity and easy to use. Yet you can do many things with it. It has many keyboard shortcuts that makes things faster.
What do you dislike about the product?
It doesn't have a template for kanban or scrum. Maybe it is product differentiation from Jira or Trello.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is easy to assign task, measure progress and keep tracks of everything.

Love this program for organizing everything, BUT you will need someone to show you how to use it!

What do you like best about the product?
Amazing app that puts everything in one place! Love that there is a desktop and mobile version to help create projects, list, assign, and keep track of the productivity for each project. I can have multiple users per project, allow communication logs between users, checklists and more! I also love the multiple viewings/layouts to choose from per project.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is so in depth and has so many wonderful tools, that it took me meeting with someone who has used it for over a year to really show all the program has to offer!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows all our projects to be in one place and keep everything organized and on time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get it, find someone to help teach you, and boom!

Asana Task Management

  • September 26, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like how Asana categorizes and creates task lists. There's also a great interdependency feature where one task can trigger another upon completion. It also does a very good job at providing separate views for incomplete and completed tasks. Reports and list generation is also easy to customize in the application using filters.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the calendar and timeline views. There doesn't seem to be an easy way to overlap these views with multiple projects. There should be a way to choose and select which projects you need to view simultaneously. The calendar and timeline views should also have more ways to create custom views based on other fields in the application. Finally there's no way to mark percentage of completion on tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've solved project managing and assigning ownership of tasks with due dates. It's also made communication more seamless. When a user makes updates to a task in Asana, it automatically triggers an email to the followers of that task. It's also a great way of storing conversations, notes, and history on attributed to any task rather thatn having to search through emails.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is a great way to collaborate and assign tasks, but is limited in providing a high level view of all projects. I would recommend using Asana to track details. Asana should look into improving their timeline view or consider incorporating gant charts. Currently we're using SmartSheets to view overlapping project timelines, but keeping individual task management in Asana.

Task Management, confusing at times

  • September 26, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy the organizational features of asana, from multiple boards to calendars and timelines for projects. It makes it simple to see your calendar of tasks to be done for the day.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana can be very confusing at times when you have a lot of things going on at once. Multiple boards can be beneficial, but projects can get lost at times with multiple notifications coming in.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has made it easy to put all projects in one place and keep track of what you need, but at the same time it has some downsides I can't get over.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It can be very confusing and frustrating for employees
